Rohans Blog: Walk The Line (DVD) Review

Following on the heels of the previous year?s Oscar Award-winning picture Ray, based on the life of Ray Charles, I entered the theater under the mistaken impression that Walk The Line would be a cookie-cutter attempt to capitalize on the various themes of that pictur...
